Before you go
How to plan the day trips
Córdoba
The high-speed AVE train takes about 45 minutes from Santa Justa. Monday to Saturday, the Mezquita is free from 8:30 to 9:30, with no groups and except on special feast days; the rest of the day you need a ticket.
Itálica
It's in Santiponce, about 9 km out. Bus M-170 leaves from the Plaza de Armas bus station. EU citizens get in free; check the opening hours on the Junta de Andalucía website before you go.
Carmona
About 35 km away by motorway. Start at the Puerta de Sevilla gate, which looks out over the town, and walk up through the old quarter.
Cádiz and El Rocío
Cádiz is just under two hours by train, so save La Caleta for the end of the day. El Rocío is best by car, about an hour away. Bring binoculars for the marshes.
Checked on November 3, 2026. Opening hours and tickets can change, so check each place’s website before you go.
